With Donald Macleod.
5: Freedom
Donald Macleod concludes his survey of Franck's life and works with a look at the composer's only symphony. As with much of his music, the work caused division among his contemporaries - Debussy called it "amazing", whereas Gounod is said to have called it "the negation of music". The programme includes
Pierre Monteux 's classic interpretation from 1961. Symphony in D
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conductor Pierre Monteux
Chorale in A minor (Three Chorales) Marie-Clare Alain (organ)
